Thanks for posting the pictures frank not got the no how myself ,old horseshoe was always stock or nearly as i entered him in one race only as a five year old and he took 3rd club ,his grandmother was the finest racer i have ever owned winning in club and three times from gold cup all on day of liberation and best being 7th section 30th open flying 16 half hours into nw wind ,his mother topped fed for me when she was a yearling before receiving a nasty injury ,he has feathered feet going back to the family of gits ,his breeding comes down from mc ivor brothers tinto goldmine ,i have had some canny young from him lost a real topper few years back from eastbourne (to much money on it )he has always been a stunner winning handling class through wires and eyesign ,two young from him have only just hatched all these are kept for obvious reasons .his grandmother was rung 1975 his mother 1985 and he is 1995 who says old dont breed the goods ?

Its difficult to say Mike and genetics is something I have not paid a lot of attention to in my pigeon life!. I bred a cheq delbar cock who is now a three yr old but this year he moulted a bronze tinge?????

There must be some red somewhere in his blood.

The Vandenabeeles in the stock loft threw a silver from a cheq and a blue! Unfortunately it was a bit of a grunter and was dispatched!!!!!

Well I must say that old fella looks great, why horseshoe?

Thanks he has always been in good health no need for pills or potions ,i called him horseshoe because he has a very distinctive white horseshoe at the back of his neck ,one of his sons a dark wf has the same marking ,it took me fifteen years but i was lucky enough last year to get a blue wf daughter from him with the same horseshoe so really chuffed ,his first eggs this year have hatched out a couple of days ago ,he is more than capable of rearing the youngsters but i must admit he does get his extra share of hormoform,extreme energy and the odd peanut :emoticon-0157-sun:
